Faults:

Diff at 98000 replaced under warranty.

Catalytic converter blocked at 110000.

Constantly replacing rear tail light globes, including indicator globes and reverse globes, due to the vibration of the alloy tray.

Seat belts were constant problem not contracting.

Brakes have been the biggest problem with vibrations at front discs.

Have split three hoses; two drivers side front hoses and one passenger front brake hose - all split at the crimp.

General Comments:

This car is a work horse. We've put it through hell and back.

Recently we purchased an RTV 2006 Falcon UTE; also straight gas and have had nothing but headaches with it, especially with the suspension.

I also find the BA to have more power and better road handling, not much difference in the interior either.

Faults:

Nothing, except the right hand side washer jet stopped working.

General Comments:

This car is fantastic, extremely quick & powerful, ride & handling are just great.

I love the BA & BF series. I have had this car for just 3 months, and I have loved every minute - though it can be thirsty when driven hard.

Tyres and brakes continue to hold problems for owners, as the brake pads wear quickly and the tyres seem the same.

But that aside, very good build quality and parts are available anywhere, and are cheap as well.

Faults:

Nothing... yet.

General Comments:

I work for a courier company and drive a toyota van all day, then I drive my Landcruiser home so when I get into the falcon, it's like a lounge chair!!

Standard features of the BA are really impressive - especially when compared to the AU. Front power windows, ABS, Cruise ect. Driving the car is wonderful, and there is always plenty of power from the 4.0L Barra.

Fuel consumption is OK, but can get high if it is driven harder.

There is no road noise to speak of, and the engine is really quiet.

Handles great, about 10 times better than the Dunnydore, and looks great even in standard form.

Faults:

This car has only a slight noise in the diff, other than that nothing.

General Comments:

I bought this car 6months ago with 100000kms on the clock and absolutely like it, its fast handles well for a large car, looks extremely great, best decision I made selling my vy commodore s supercharged to buy this BA, its light years ahead of VY.

General Comments:

What have I done sold my beautiful 86 Toyota Crown for this over priced junk heap. Only thing I love about my XR6T is the looks and the comfort it's a shame as well because it really has potential.

Ford pick up your act NOW or you will lose a lot of customers for shoddy built cars.

Faults:

Very few complaints. The only warranty item so far is machining of the front disc rotors.

General Comments:

Absolutely love it. Performance is exceptional, handles fantasticlly and economy is not too bad considering weights, power etc.

We tow an 18' caravan (weight approx 1.7 tonne) and the engine has never strained. It climbs hills like they weren't there.
